Small covered boat that could get to the action quickly. Experienced guide Carlos was a great and fun teacher and so passionate about whales.

We had such an amazing experience with Carlos. We saw so many whales and were able to move between groups of whales easily since the boat was smaller. Max 14 people. Will definitely come back on our next visit.

Amazing trip!Carlos great guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Seemed to know where to find whales and dolphins, and informative about habits and nature of the awesome creatures.
Emilio followed Carlos directions re: where the whales were, and slowed down as we approached the sightings so we could appreciate the signs and sounds of the whales.
Worth every penny!
